<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Camino too easy?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I was surprised at how difficult the Camino was. I have
climbed glacier covered peaks to<BR>21,000 feet, and done many other hard and
scary things. I think that it will be harder than you<BR>expect,
especially if you do the trip alone. I thought that with my
international travel<BR>experience, my good Spanish, my backpacking and
climbing experience, it would be<BR>somewhat easy, but it was not.<BR><BR>Your
experience on the Camino will necessarily vary, depending on your background,
your<BR>experience, your language skills, your spiritual view, your companions
if any, the weather, the<BR>incidents or misadventures you have, how many km
you walk per day, the physical ailments<BR>you develop on the walk, etc.
But I do not think that you will find it
"easy".<BR><BR>Richard</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
